Which court hears a foreign-related equity dispute in Guangzhou?
Foreign-related and Hong Kong / Macao / Taiwan commercial cases in Guangzhou are subject to centralised jurisdiction. Under the current position of the Guangdong High People’s Court, first-instance cases of RMB 40 million or more are heard by the Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court; four categories of foreign-related commercial cases below that threshold (security interest, commercial contract, company and partnership, and securities and financial derivatives) are heard by the Yuexiu District People’s Court and the Nansha District People’s Court respectively.
